DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory)

SWPP Photographic Glossary

DRAM, or Dynamic Random Access Memory, is a standard type of computer memory used to temporarily store data that the CPU needs for processing tasks. It is called "dynamic" because it requires constant refreshing to maintain the stored information.

In photography and digital imaging, DRAM plays a key role in handling large image files, running photo-editing software, and supporting multitasking. Higher amounts of DRAM in a computer improve performance when working with high-resolution images, complex edits, or multiple applications simultaneously, making it essential for efficient digital workflows.
